Even though Prince Harry is no longer with his grandmother, he will always have her best interests at heart.

In a preview of an interview which will air on April 20, 2022, on TODAY, the Duke of Sussex, 37, sat down with Hoda Kotb at the 2022 Invictus Games, which took place in The Hague in the Netherlands, to talk about his recent visit with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

"Being with her, it was great. It was just so nice to see her … She's on great form," Harry told Kotb, 57, later adding, "It was really nice to catch up to her."

He then shared that even though he is no longer in England, he makes it a point to check up on the Queen, who turns 96 on April 21, 2022. The Archewell founder and his wife, Meghan Markle relocated to the States and currently reside in Montecito, Calif. with their two children, Archie, 2, and Lilibet, 10 months, according to PEOPLE.

Recently, Harry and Meghan visited the monarch at Windsor Castle, while they were on their way to the Netherland for Invictus Games. One of the topics Harry discussed with his grandmother was the games, which Harry started in 2014.

"She had plenty of messages for Team U.K., which I have already passed on to most of them," the Duke of Sussex told the BBC. "So, it was great to see her. I'm sure she would love to be here if she could."

The father of two also said that being a father has made the games and the athletes have even more of an impact on him.

"Being a dad certainly adds another emotional layer to it," Harry shared. "When I was in the Army, I promised myself I would be out before having a wife and kids because I couldn't imagine the heartache of being apart for so long during deployment, the risk of possibly getting injured, and the reality that my family's lives could be changed forever if that happened.

"Every member of the Invictus community has experienced varying degrees of these things. I have tremendous respect for what they and their families sacrifice in the name of service."

In other news, he shared that his youngest child, “Lili,” is already walking. “Her current priorities are trying to keep up with her brother; she took her first step just a few days ago!” Prince Harry said. “Proud papa, here.”
